Vitamins and minerals are considered essential nutrients—because acting in concert, they perform hundreds of roles in the body. They help shore up bones, heal wounds, and bolster your immune system. They also convert food into energy and repair cellular damage.

Super Vitazyme contains all 45 of the Vitamins and minerals, plus enzymes required to feed the body, and improve your complexion and to allow these nutrients to do their job.

I personally Love this supplement because it’s all Plant-Based and has an enzyme delivery system, which makes it easily digested and assimilated into the body.

This supplement was formulated by Dr. Eric Sauer, NMD. RPh. If you have a sensitive stomach this is the perfect vitamin for you since it’s gentle on the stomach and easily digested.

It’s Tick Season/ Ticked Off Aromatic Organic Tick Repellant

As the most commonly reported tick-borne disease in the United States, Lyme disease has been getting a lion’s share of the attention lately, but ticks — the U.S. has almost 100 varieties but only a few bite humans — can be hosts to nearly a dozen other diseases that can be passed on to you and your children when they latch onto your skin.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, ticks can carry a variety of diseases and recommends preventative measures like repellents. In the United States, some ticks carry pathogens that can cause human disease, including:

Anaplasmosis, caused by bacteria, can be fatal in about 1% of cases, even in previously healthy people.Babesiosis is caused by microscopic parasites that infect red blood cells and is treatable. The tick that transmits it is about the size of a poppy seed.Ehrlichiosis, caused by bacteria, appears with flu-like symptoms. It is treatable has been fatal in about 2% of cases.Powassan disease, which comes from a virus, has no specific treatment for the virus. Although only 75 cases have been reported in the past decade, it can develop into encephalitis, an inflammation of the brain, or meningitis, an inflammation of the membranes around the brain and spinal cord.

You may have been taught that you need sunlight for your body to make vitamin D because vitamin D is not found naturally in most foods. But today, many foods are fortified with vitamin D during the manufacturing process. Thus, sun exposure is not as important for the body’s vitamin D supply as it used to be. Of course, being at the beach makes most people feel good. And enjoying a day at the beach swimming is better for your health than watching television. But you can still protect yourself from the sun’s damaging effects while enjoying yourself outdoors.

A very important beach bag product is sunscreen. There are many different sunblock products on the market. Many people aren’t sure which to choose. What SPF to choose? SPF stands for sun protection factor. The SPF number tells you how well the product will protect you from UVB, the burning rays of the sun. (Most sunscreens also absorb ultraviolet “A” rays or UVA.) The higher the SPF number, the greater the amount of protection. Everyone should use a sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30. If you have had a skin cancer or precancer, you should use a sunscreen with an even higher SPF. Many of the new sunscreens have SPF of 45 or higher.

Of course, while you are on the beach you’ll want to look good too. We have another beach bag essential for you. Natural Lip Stain/Gloss. What’s great is the Lip Stain has lasting power. Bikini Styles come and go, but a chic Lip Color is Essential to wear on the beach. What’s great is it’s not thick like most Lip Glosses, so sand sticking to your Lips will not be an issue. This awesome color Sumacberrie will brighten your day, Lips and face.

More importantly, it’s chemical free, vegan and no fragrance except for Peppermint and Vanilla Essential Oils.
